The invisible force field wall was completely destroyed by the dissociation spells. The anti-magic ray aimed at the crystal ball in Lucien's right hand, trying to penetrate it and build a small anti-magic field inside to cut off the connection between the crystal ball and the magic tower.
Lucien had already been hit by the anti-magic ray, so he did not try to use any counterspell. Instead, he reached out his right hand and blocked the anti-magic ray directly. At the same time, he finished chanting the spell that hurt people's eardrums. He was not casting a spell by himself, and if he interrupted it by force, he would only suffer a minor backlash. However, he was controlling a seventh-circle magic tower with his spiritual power of the fifth circle. If he stopped chanting and changed the spell, his soul would be seriously damaged!
Bolts of thick silver lightning struck down from the ceiling, turning the room into a sea of lightning. Everything in the old witch's study was destroyed by the lightning, except for the desk and the floor engraved with the magic tower's patterns.
Seventh-circle spell, Lightning Storm!
Layers of shadows that looked like hollow patterns suddenly appeared around the old witch, and all the lightning that struck her body disappeared without a sound.
Seventh-circle spell, Energy Immunity — Electricity!
Then, from the yellowish-brown ball in the old witch's left eye, rays of different colors shot out one after another. Some of the rays could charm people, some could make people fall asleep, some could directly hurt people, some could make people feel fear and slow down, and some could even petrify or disintegrate people. At the same time, the giant yellow eye in the middle of the room was releasing a strong sense of death.
Seventh-circle spell, Finger of Death!
After such a fierce attack, the old witch's left eye dimmed down, and she temporarily lost the ability to cast spells.
In fact, no beholder would fight in this way. They would distribute the use of different eyes reasonably to ensure that they could cast spells continuously. However, the old witch did not care about that at all. It seemed that she had fallen into madness, or there was some other reason.
Lucien did not dare to be careless in front of such a horrible attack. He stroked the crystal ball with his right hand and chanted some spells. An invisible Magic Prison fell from the sky and trapped him.
Fear, Sluggishness, Enchantment, Sleep, Death, and other rays hit the Magic Prison, but they only dyed it in different colors. The green Dissociation spell, on the other hand, made it fall apart and disappear quickly.
A crazy attack did not mean a perfect attack. If the old witch had released the rays one after the other, the magic prison would have been broken down in the first round of dissociation, or Lucien himself would have been trapped and the initiative of the battle would have been taken away by the old witch!
After blocking the terrifying attack, Lucien suddenly noticed that the old witch had secretly glanced at the beautiful stone sculptures on her right.
"Those stone sculptures weren't destroyed by the lightning storm?" Lucien was shocked when he realized this fact. What were they made of? Why did the old witch protect them more than magic books?!
Without thinking too much, Lucien subconsciously chanted an incantation. A huge claw that seemed to be made of sparkling ice abruptly emerged from the floor and grabbed at the beautiful stone sculptures.
The seventh-circle spell, Sajman's Ice Claw Prison!
The spells that the magic tower could produce were limited. Including the ones that Lucien had already used, there were only nine kinds of spells. Lucien was worried that if the fight went on for a long time, the old witch would definitely use all kinds of spells to defeat him. Therefore, as soon as he realized that something was wrong with the beautiful stone sculptures, he changed his target without any hesitation.
At the same time, Lucien was worried that the old witch would take the opportunity to attack him, so he kept chanting the incantation.
The old witch screamed angrily, and streams of black smoke came out from her body and spread out like waves. Adam, who had just recovered from his glassy state and was slowly crawling to the corner, immediately fell into a state of exhaustion and weakness.
The seventh-circle spell, Withering Wave, was a powerful spell cast by the old witch's magic robe. The old witch's own spell was still buffering after she cast the Energy Immunity spell.
Although Lucien knew that he would not even have the strength to make a sound after being hit by the Withering Wave, he did not panic. He calmly finished the spell, and a dim ray shot out from the wall and landed on the ground in front of Lucien.
As soon as the anti-magic ray hit the ground, a small anti-magic field was generated. As soon as the Withering Wave reached the field, it automatically calmed down. At the same time, the beautiful stone sculptures that were grabbed by the huge ice claw burst out the light of many protective spells to offset the ice claw.
"Something is wrong!"
"As soon as I came into the core of the magic tower, I felt that something was wrong. The old witch is a woman, and she is abnormally old because of the curse. Why would she put the beautiful stone sculptures here?!"
"The old witch's body and soul have already decayed to such an extent. Why hasn't she died after hundreds of years?!"
"This is the core of the magic tower. It's the most heavily guarded place. It's normal that the most important things are hidden here!"
Countless thoughts rushed into Lucien's mind. The crystal ball floated in the air, showing the color of a ruby. A red ray of light shot out from the crystal ball and hit the remaining stone sculptures.
The seventh-circle spell, Ruby Reverse Ray, could remove the highest level of defense on the target!
Most of the defensive magic on the stone sculptures had been consumed by the lightning storm, and part of it was offset by the Ice Claw Cage. Therefore, after being hit by the Ruby Reverse Ray, the light on one of the stone sculptures quickly dimmed, and the stone sculpture was exposed.
"Ah!" The old witch screamed angrily. She had no time to attack Lucien. The force field condensed into a huge hand, grabbed the stone sculpture, and pulled it behind her.
Lucien knew that he had found the old witch's weakness, so he took the opportunity to attack her. The spell was cast again, and thick lightning bolts filled the area around the old witch. Crack!
Crack! Crack! One of the stone sculptures that had lost all its defensive power was smashed into pieces by the lightning, and then a faint soul disappeared in the lightning.
The old witch seemed to have aged a lot all of a sudden. Her back was so bent that it was about to break. Her right eye became more and more cloudy, and her modified left eye suddenly withered.
Lucien knew that it was something like a life lock!
Lightning Storm was still going on, and Lucien hurriedly cast Magic Prison on himself. This was a trapping spell, but if he could cast Disintegrate, it would be a great defensive choice, and he could avoid being killed by the old witch's final attack.
As the stone sculptures broke one after another, the old witch just stood there as if she had lost the ability to cast any magic. She was getting older and older, and in the end, she directly rotted.
Did I finally kill her? Lucien thought to himself. When he was facing a senior-rank sorcerer, he had been very nervous, fearing that the situation would be reversed by her endless powerful spells. However, when he was so close to victory, he suddenly felt that it was unreal. Did he just kill a senior-rank sorcerer like this?
Where's her magic trigger? Did she consume it in the underground relics?
"Her choice of spells seems to be problematic. Otherwise, she would've been able to control me before I realized that the statue was her weakness …"
One question after another rose in Lucien's mind. Adam, who had lost all his strength, said in a happy voice through the secondary telepathic bond, "Buddy, you're really something! You really killed the old witch! We're finally free! "
"Don't be too happy, Adam. We still need to go to the underground relics and see if we can find a way out." Seeing that the old witch was slowly collapsing, Lucien was finally relieved.
At this time, a creepy smile suddenly appeared on the old witch's face.
"Shit!"
As soon as Lucien raised his guard, the whole magic tower started to shake violently. Stone bricks fell down one after another, and clouds of dust were flying in the air.
Lucien's head started to blur, and everything around him became dark.
…
When the darkness was gone, light reappeared. Lucien subconsciously wanted to sit up, but he was shocked to find that his hands and feet were bound by something.
"Hahahaha, very good. Your magic foundation is very good. The development of magic in the past hundreds of years is really beyond my imagination." The old witch's old laughter came into Lucien's ears.
Lucien turned around in surprise, and he saw that the old witch was still wearing her red magic robe. She was walking back and forth with her back hunched and her face full of wrinkles. Lucien was lying in the familiar magic lab, as if he had just finished the electric shock treatment.
"What's going on?" Lucien was confused by the strange change.
The old witch smiled proudly, "The sixth-circle spell, Dream Casting. It's easy for me to know your magic level and the current development of magic."
Was the escape just a dream? Lucien was a bit confused, but it also explained a lot of his doubts, such as why he still could not open the Library of the Soul or summon Rhein even after taking off the anti-magic collar, and why the old witch's magic choices were wrong.
"Hahahaha, since your so-called 'arcana' is quite good, I'll take you into the underground relic. There's a maze in there, and I hope you can surprise me. "The old witch seemed to have found a solution, and she was quite happy.
Lucien quickly regained his calmness and took the opportunity to bargain, "Ms. Eudora, I think I can help you explore and get through the maze if you take off my collar."
"No problem. I'll take it off for you before we enter the maze." As a powerful senior-rank sorcerer, the old witch was not worried that Lucien would hurt her at all.
Then, the old witch led Lucien to the bottom floor of the magic tower. Following a winding staircase, they came to an underground tunnel.
The tunnel was about five meters high and seven to eight people wide. It was paved with huge stone slabs, and on the left and right walls, there were murals of ancient human beings fighting with underground monsters.
"What a magnificent underground relic!" Lucien exclaimed from the bottom of his heart.
The old witch did not say anything. She walked to the end of the tunnel as if she was used to it. There were ten gates here, and each gate was painted with different mysterious symbols.
"This is the maze." The old witch pointed at the gray gate in the middle.
The symbols on the gate were somewhat familiar to Lucien. They seemed to be different mathematical symbols. So, he asked in confusion, "Ms. Eudora, what's in the maze? I need to be prepared. "
"There are no monsters. There are just many puzzles …" The old witch seemed to be reluctant to look back. Then, she took off the collar and the restraint bracelet on Lucien and urged him to go in.
Feeling that his spiritual power had been restored, Lucien pushed the gray gate open and walked in slowly. Since there were no monsters, it should be a maze of pure thinking.
As soon as he walked in, the gate behind him closed silently. With his Night Vision, Lucien found himself standing on an endless bridge, surrounded by the endless void.
"There's nothing here?"
Lucien thought in confusion as he walked forward. After only two steps, the surroundings suddenly changed.
Stars condensed in the endless void, and these bright stars flashed in front of Lucien's eyes one after another. The light reflected on the words.
"Please prove that any even number greater than 2 can be written as the sum of two prime numbers …"
"Huh?" Lucien looked at the changes with his mouth agape. The stars that came later directly became mathematical questions, all of which seemed to be content from the "Dimitrovich Mathematical Analysis Exercise Book" that he had just started practicing some time ago.
The mathematical symbols, numbers, equations, hypotheses, and so on surrounded Lucien, and soon, his mind began to become confused. Suddenly, the darkness shattered and light strangely reappeared.
Lucien opened his eyes and shook his heavy head blankly. He looked around reflexively and saw Elvis, who was supposed to be dead, sitting at the side.
He covered his mouth and nose. Drops of blood dripped down. With a muffled voice, he angrily accused.
He said in a muffled voice, "What are you thinking in your head?!"
